    What's your kernel version? You must restart the machine if you have an older kernel version. With the latest versions you can try:

    echo "scsi scan-new-devices" > /proc/scsi/scsi

    for force the system to scan the scsi bus.

    After cat /proc/partitions

    Best regards

    How did you look for it? Say you have 3 scsi devices already (sda, sdb
    and sdc). The new disk should be sdd. Did you try:

    #fdisk /dev/sdd

    to partition it? If so, what output did you get?
